How many times does NICMAR take admissions?

The institute conducts admissions in three rounds: 1st, 2nd, and last (but this can change in the future).

• The first round of admissions usually takes place around November-December, with the maximum number of students participating during this round. The entrance exam for this round takes place in January.
• The second round of admissions opens in January-February, with the entrance exam taking place in April-May.
• The final or third round of admissions opens in May, with interviews and entrance tests being conducted in June. The session usually starts in the first half of July.

The difference between these rounds is that the first round has test centers across the country, and all campuses and courses are open. The second and third rounds are conducted in Pune only, and the Pune campus is usually the first to fill up.
